TIE SEN1TORSHIP IN rrpsr

Naturally enough Frank IliscocIS has bcon the
recipient OF n large quantity OF con,Iatulatory
attention since he was awarded the Scnat orial
toga. Ills fellow Congressman OF "Saint's Rest
nave addressed him an ahectionate TELEGRAM
Several political clubs have sweetly serenaded
him. His friends and neighbors in his own be
loved Onondaga have given him hearty non
partisan reception. Number OF gentlemen have
indicated noble willingness to rclic,e him Of all
trouble In regard TO filling his place in the Lib
Congress by running for the Office themselves
The Illustrated papers have let the public sec
that the new Senator has "a face that il M good
looking as his record.
Has Mr.. Hiscock been pleased with tbcsc kindly
tributes that have been layished upon him or
course he has. And still these who know him
best have thought that they detected a dissatis-
fled look IN his eye. And when they beheld him
turn with sigh from kilograms and serenadcs
and receptions, they were convinced TINT there
was one contribution conspcuously absent from
the volume OF generalization for which the soul

Important State and municipal officers VIII
be voted for in this city next November. The
contest viii he particularly important because
IL will be followed in 1855 by the Presidential
election. Success can only be secured by tho
domination or good men and by thorough or
ganization. TO accomplish this 1t is necessary
that Republicans should, as far as possible
tale part in the primaries. The election OF
good men as delegates 10 conventions and as
representatives on TIE County and State com
mttccs depends on the votes in the primaries
No person can vote at those gatherings unless
hi. name is enrolled as member Of tho party
organization in his district Not onc-third o.
the Republican voters in this city arc so en-
rolled. This is wholly the fault of the voters
themselves.
An opportunity to remedy this state of al

will be on hand in each Assembly District from
n. IN. to 10 D. IN. TO register the names oil
qualified party voters a list of the places for
enrolment will be found in an advertisement

voter who supported the Republican ticket at
the last election, or who filling TO vote then
declares his intention to act with this party

enrolled 1t ought TO 10 the pleasure as wei
as the duty Of every Republican to join bis

murder. A German named Unger has been
orrested in this city on suspicion of having had

precisely the ground which intelligent railroad
managers take that IL is vague, blind and unccr-

most costly litigation, and in such litigation the

advantage. The legislative committee OF the

The last years work of the American
Protective League reflects credit on the
organization. Subordinate societies in nineteen
States have been formed, and beginning has
been made in distributing protective tariff
literature. There is every reason to believe
that the League will soon be able to offset
completely the influence of the free-trade
associations.

What the President expects to gain by
referring to the Interstate Commerce bill to
the Attorney Generaliis not clear His sole OBJ
ject can hardly be to get Mr.. Garland's opinion
as to the constitutionality Of the measure, for
that gentleman is already on record against 1T.
When Senator from Arkansas in discussing
the subject of interstate commerce some years
ago, Mr.. Garland expressed his belief IN the
Senate that Congress had no right to delegate
Its regulating powers to a commission. Now
this ia not the strongest point yet urged
against the bill but it seems to show what Mr..
Garlands present opinion must be if there is
any such thing as consistency about him.

The delegates to the State Labor Convention
at Springfield, ILL.,. have shown excellent judg-
ment and common sense. They ruled out of
their deliberations yesterday resolution OF
sympathy for the condemned Anarchists. Dele
gates to labor conventions all over the Union
would strengthen themselves with every decent
element IN the Nation if they would follow
this example. The cause of the workingman
would be as surely defeated, If the Anarchists
had their way, as the schemes OF the most
greedy capitalist. Social disorder means ruin
to the savings banks as well as TO other
corporations, and would wipe out the laborer's
wages as quickly as the rich mans dividends.
The course of the Aqueduct Commissioners
yesterday in excluding the public from their
meeting is difficult to understand. 1t was
special meeting to consider whether or not the
stupendOus Quaker Bridge Dam should be
built. This work will cost between six and
twelve million dollars Estimates vary widely
because no similar structure has ever been
made. But Judging from the city's experience
with the East River Bridge and other public
works. the proposed dam will largely exceed
the estimated cost. If the Commissioners have
any good reason to offer for excluding the
public from their deliberations on a matter
involving such vast expenditure of public
money, they ought to make haste to give it.
As it Is now, their action looks decidedly
peculiar.
Lord Randolph Churchill has disappointed
his friends and pleased his enemies. Accord

insinuations. Indeed. the opinion will grow |

business. Yet it Is not safe to say that his
